Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore is in the news for her long-awaited comeback to the big screen. Yes, she will soon be seen in the forthcoming film Gulmohar, directed by Rahul Chittella. Also starring Manoj Bajpayee, Amol Palekar, and Suraj Sharma in lead roles, the film will mark her return to films after a long gap of 11 years. The team has wrapped up filming and they are looking at releasing the film in August 2022.
The Amar Prem (1972) actress, speaking about her comeback with Gulmohar, said, “After a considerable gap, I am very happy to be in the familiar and well-loved ambiance of a film set. I agreed almost immediately to be a part of team Gulmohar - after the moving narration of this heart-warming and beautifully written story/script. It is a very layered and absorbing family drama. And I am sure many will enjoy watching it together with their loved ones in the comfort of their home.”
Sharmila's co-star Manoj Bajpayee, on the other hand, said why he chose to do Gulmohar. “For me, there were many reasons to sign the film, firstly the narrative of the film was extremely candid and relatable. Secondly, sharing screen space with Sharmilaji was such an honor and above all, Rahul always came across as an intelligent talent and a man of integrity! What more could I ask for? I hope that the audience too will love it as much as I love being a part of it,” said the Family Man (2019) actor.
Gulmohar is a moving family drama that follows several generations of the Batra family as they prepare to leave their 34-year-old family home.
